Sky Watch Friday now has a new home and a life of it's own. Please check out the new sight and link in if you wish to participate. There were 378 people last week with beautiful Sky photos. You can link in from my side bar or above.
The family made a trip to central Ohio to go on a canoeing trip down a river. Most of the family went down in two cars. It was a fun trip with some great scenery. There were 7 adults and 6 kids on two rafts and a canoe. The country is really nice in central Ohio.
There was a set of silos that I thought gave a fun sky shot.
As you go south in Ohio you start to get closer to the Appalachian Mountains and you get into the foothills with the rolling countryside.
If you put your camera in a plastic bag on the raft while you are going down the river you can get this kind of sky shot. Yes, we did get really wet. I don't recommend this method but the camera dried out and so did I.

Greetings from
JoAnn's-D-Eyes /Holland:)
Great sky watch. I really like the silos against the sky.
ReplyDeleteWe used to live in the Texas Panhandle on the High Plains. There was always a lot of wind and if you passed some silos near the highway, "be careful", the swirling winds would take you off the road, or into an oncoming car.
Great photos, and thanks for the visit,
Troy
Yesterday was a storybook, today is a family album! Nice series, and I especially love the shot through the plastic bag!
ReplyDeleteI've used the plastic bag strategy before! I love the fair weather cumulus sky in the others... green green, blue blues and white whites... it's like a laundry detergent commercial. :O)
ReplyDeleteHa! I see you posted early too.
ReplyDeleteGreat sky watch and congrats on being featured. Okay. I know I'm a little late with that, but still... congrats!

ReplyDeleteGreat shots Fishing Guy, love the misty one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful country and skies!
ReplyDeleteYou are very courageous, taking the camera with you onto the water. I went sailing recently and left my camera in the locker.
Wonderful set of skywatching shots.
ReplyDeleteFG
ReplyDeleteThis is a really superb post. I love the way you have framed the shots.BTW,I think you did a grand job last week with the intro, can't quite remember if I sent you a message but if I didn't my apologies.
Lovely series of photos, Fishing Guy, and I just love how you've put them into an oval vignette format! Very nice Sky Watch!
ReplyDeleteHow cute, camera in a bag!! Die hard photographer hahahaha
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit to my blog and the advice. Your idea is really priceless to put a camera in a plastic bag and use it this way.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I'm glad your camera is OK. ;-) Ohio really is lovely, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteWho's got a new photo program? I like those little oval frames. Pappy
ReplyDeleteGreat Sky Watch photos - such beauitful colours captured too!
ReplyDeleteAn excellent sequence.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots for sky watch, FG!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice trip.
Hi Fishing Guy,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your camera dried out! what a fun family trip...down a river, in a canoe or raft. Fabulous scenery...
Love the framing! Your dog is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese are so interesting and it is a lovely landscape; how many miles did you canoe? Does the river run fairly swiftly?
ReplyDeletewonderful pictures!i love the colors!great shots
ReplyDeleteNice one, Tom. Has my cam getting wet recently, too. But all went well. :)
ReplyDeleteCheers, Klaus
P.S.: Hope you get back to normal image shows. The nice the ovals are - a full frame is always nicer! :)
I like the silo one, and the last one. It is an interesting shot and you wouldn't have had it otherwise, so well worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice trip! And you took very nice shots. They are all very nice:)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice Sky Watch:)
Wow!!!! This is an amazing post! I love the travels that you took us on and I enjoyed the tip of what a photo will look like when covered in a plastic bag!! How Stunning and what a great idea! Well done...
ReplyDeleteThe third one looks like a Painting, it's So beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI like your sky shots!
ReplyDeleteGee..all our family has is a barbeque. Obviously, we are under achievers in reunions. @:}
ReplyDeletegreat swf shot. Great collection of photos.
ReplyDeletevery cool presentation. Love the silos and oohh your poor camera. Glad it's okay.
ReplyDeleteThese are just lovely and I like the way the photos are presented! I love the silos photos---I tend to like silo photos. Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteLovely! SWF!!
ReplyDeleteNeat stuff, I like the plastic baggie shot the best! It makes me giggle.
ReplyDeleteNot only beautiful images biy so imaginatively framed.
ReplyDeleteYour first shot is gorgeous in my opinion...looks like a nice place to live.
ReplyDeleteCentral Ohio looks like a nice place to go!
ReplyDeletePretty neat photos... interesting way of matting the photos... makes it so much more fun that way.... you did a fabulous Sky Watch this week!
ReplyDeleteI think if I were rafting, I would have lost the camera trying to stay in the raft and not managed one picture at all! I am impressed that you managed a sky shot and only got wet in the process! lol Nice presentation of your photos too.
ReplyDeleteMy Sky Watch Photos are posted Here and Here
What a devotee! great idea and nice shots too.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures. You were brave to take your camera on the raft. Glad all is well. Sounds like a nice vacation with family.

ReplyDeleteSounds like an exciting trip. Love the photos! Good music!
ReplyDeleteLove how you captured them in a beautiful frame
ReplyDeletenice series of pictures for swf
ReplyDeleteWonderful SkyWatch shots! I especially like the silos, we have lots of grain bins around here that break up the skyline.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try that camera in a plastic bag trip. Sounds like you had fun; great photos.
ReplyDeleteNice series FG!
ReplyDeleteI only have one camera so putting it in a plastic bag would not be an option I'd be comfortable with!
Great job FG....I really like the one with the silos..
ReplyDeleteHey Fishing Guy,
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job last week. I like your oval framing for your gorgeous photos. I'm definitely going to try that. Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteWonderful views. I like a lot the last one, so shaded.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sky Watch!

ReplyDeleteLovely cloud shots. I like the last one, it looks like there is a heavy mist over the water.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots!!
ReplyDeleteBut you mean to say the camera didn't go bad?!
That top shot is almost like a constable. Great SWF! Thanks for stopping by Photonic Harmony Mr Fishing Guy, all the best, Andy.
ReplyDeleteLove how you have "shaped" each of these images! Almost like a cameo glimpse of life! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat SW pictures!

ReplyDeletecarla
very interesting shots i like the way you portrayed them! Great swf!
ReplyDeleteLove them - and something interesting happens with your lovely oval crops - I get a sort of convex optical illusion.
ReplyDeleteYour shots are very interesting. I love how you frame them.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous... The first one is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Prairie Visions!
lovely set of photos! you had a good idea of wrapping the camera not to get wet instead of buying a waterproof camera case! :D
ReplyDeleteNice shots. The plastic bag thing had me laughing...
ReplyDeleteI love this series of photos. And I actually really like that last one in the plastic bag.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and posting. I am thinking about taking a raft ride down our local rivers here in Oregon. I think I will take my less expensive camera and some baggies.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky and country. Love the silos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of landscape and sky. The first reminds me of Norway. Like it a lot ;-)

ReplyDeleteHmm,thanks about the tip for putting the camera in a plastic bag...Now you get great sky fotos as always! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the stylistic approach on these photos. The silos against the sky are definitely my favorite of the bunch, but they're all very nice!
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you've presented these .. they are just wonderful .. and the 'framing' makes them IMO even more so
ReplyDelete:-Daryl

ReplyDeleteFishing Guy this is something else. Who but you would think of putting a camera in a plastic bag for a photo shoot. How very creative. What's that line: where there is the will there is a way to do it. Rock on!
ReplyDeleteLove it. The frames make them look like postcards.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skywatch photos! I like the last shot, too. It looks as though the fog rolled in!
